Penner's not perfect, but he'd be a decent stop gap until Nino is ready to contribute.

If this isn't a playoff year, but you can grab a big center like Nikushkin in the draft, a lot of our size issues will have been addressed.

Neiderreitter is one of the worst forwards in the league as far as chances for vs. against go. If you want a long-term project, by all means. I don't think the Oilers can afford to lose one of their top powerVpower forwards for one who can't score or defend.
